(with respect to such shared voting and shared investment power he

common stock.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

director of AmeriVest Properties Inc. Because their acquisition,
voting, and disposition activities could cause
4
them to be deemed to be a "group" (as defined in Section 13 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), Mr. Hewitt and
Mr. Atkins have entered into an agreement evidencing that, unless
and until either person decides otherwise, each will conduct his
activities with respect to the Issuer's securities as if the two
of them are a "group" (as defined in Section 13 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).
(b) Mr. Hewitt has also entered into a Subscription and Registration
Rights Agreement between himself and the Issuer.

acquired pursuant to an investment advisory agreement entered into
effective January 1, 2000.
(d) Other than these three agreements, there are no contracts,
arrangements, understandings or relationships between Mr. Hewitt
and any other party with respect to any of the Issuer common stock
owned by Mr. Atkins, RRTC, SRC, SRP, SRA, SD, SI or any other
party.
